Abstract

The development of globalization has led to transparency in obtaining information. This development has had positive and negative impacts on the world of education. Especially the world of Islamic education in early childhood. This has a huge impact on a child's moral growth. The aim of this research is to find out how early childhood education is based on an Islamic perspective and to increase understanding of the cultivation of morals from an early age. The method the researcher used in this research was a qualitative method with a descriptive research model. The researcher collected data by conducting more in-depth interviews with parents and teachers via telephone and the WhatsApp application. The results of this research show that cultivating morals from an early age will be more efficient if taught to children through good moral development and accompanied by habituation and example from parents and teachers. It can be concluded that cultivating morals from an early age can shape a child's personality in a better direction so that it can protect the child from despicable actions. The limitation of this research is that the researcher only conducted research on the application of early childhood education according to an Islamic perspective and the cultivation of morals from an early age, therefore the researcher hopes that future researchers can conduct the same research related to morals but further developed at a further level.
